Fall 2010 Overview

August 25, 2010 - As the fall semester begins, the STJR program
looks forward to another active year.

Of the 14 students now in the program, half are from the United
States and half from other countries. Countries of origin include
China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Nigeria, and Spain.

STJR students remain in high demand as graduate assistants. Some
STJR students are serving as teaching assistants for
writing-intensive courses for science majors. Other assistantship
sites include the Texas A&M career center, the AuthorAID
project, and the Texas A&M College of Geosciences communication
office.

This summer, students finished internships at the American Water
Works Association public affairs office and Science Editor
magazine. Among sites of internships this fall are the John M.
Eisenberg Center for Clinical Decisions and Communications Science,
Texas A&M AgriLife Communications, and the communication office
of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine &
Biomedical Sciences.
